TECHNICAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
Composition and production: Cement tiles are composed of grey or white Portland cement, marble dust, sand, colour pigments, additives and water. These raw materials are carefully selected and mixed together, then they are introduced into the mould of the tile we are making and finally we introduce them into the press to press the tile and have the tile completely finished. They then cure for a minimum of 28 days before leaving the factory, to guarantee the final quality of our encaustic cement tiles.
Applicable standards: Cement tiles are not regulated by European (CE) or national (UPEC) standards.
The tests carried out in the laboratory to which we refer are performed in the absence of these “standards”, so we rely on the protocols for terrazzo or cement according to standard 1339:2004.
Geometric characteristics:
Data obtained Testing Laboratory Generalitat Catalunya LGAI
Difference between the 4 sides of a tile +/- 0,2 mm
Thickness difference: +/- 0.5 mm
Average pigment layer thickness: 3mm: +/- 1 mm
Surface flatness: Maximum deflection -0.2 mm
Flexural strength: Class 3 U-marking
Wear Resistance: Class 4 Marking I
Slip Resistance: Class 3 (Torraestone anti-slip)
CAN THERE BE COLOUR VARIATIONS?
Cement tiles may show slight variations in tone, format or thickness as a result of their handcrafted manufacture and the use of natural products in their production and do not constitute a guarantee of return or restitution of the product. Each tile is unique.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF IT IS A TORRA PRODUCT?
DO CEMENT TILES STAIN, AND TERRAZZO TILES?
All products made of cement and crushed marble and granite are porous materials and of a «chalky» nature, which means that they can stain.
To limit the risk of staining, after installation we recommend Torra Sealer for indoor floors, or TorraStone Sealer for our outdoor, anti-slip or Gaudí Hexagon cement tiles.
It should be borne in mind that newly installed cement tiles are more delicate than old or used cement tiles as these have already aged and the pore of the tile has closed up.
